Montreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2026) - Dios Exploration (TSXV: DOS) is pleased to report encouraging gold assay results from its Au33 Project, James Bay, Quebec (Figure 1). The 2026 drill program expanded the Heberto gold-mineralized footprint, with nine holes completed for a total of 1,772 m (Figure 2).
2026 Heberto drill highlights include (Table 1): ¢ 5.88 g/t Au over 1.60 m including 13.00 g/t Au over 0.65 m in hole 863-26-54 ¢ 2.61 g/t Au over 5.25 m including 6.99 g/t Au over 1.50 m in hole 863-26-55
The drilling campaign extended gold mineralization up to 150 m northwest along strike and confirmed a similar mineralization style. Gold is hosted within metre-scale, NNW-trending shear zones shallow dipping west, associated with sericite-potassic feldspar-silica alteration and containing pyrite and magnetite (Figure 3).
M.J. Girard, President and CEO of Dios, commented, "The 2026 program has materially expanded the Heberto gold-mineralized footprint with encouraging gold assay results and a new gold extension open to the NNW (Figure 2). Heberto gold zones seem very continuous in 3-D modelling. In Heberto area, the Mitsumis batholith is characterized by several NNW and ENE structures: gold shear zones, quartz veins, stockwork and dioritic dykes are mainly related to NNW structures. Such structures are also observed near Bonano gold showing area and related gold-in-soil anomalies, not far north of Heberto, along the new open gold extension."
